Aw she’s so sweet! Omg I’ve just been thinking about this... feeling so guilty about how much I’ve spent on this hobby although I only spend doll money (from selling dolls) and not household money I still feel guilty lol. I think it’s in our nature especially as women, to feel guilty about any luxury we indulge in. I think it’s needed to have some “me time” to recharge our batteries. As women, wives and moms we give give all day long. If our me time is with dolls, there’s nothing wrong with that at all. And sometimes my doll time ends up being time I spend with my younger daughters and son as they love the dolls too!
Hi,Don't feel guilty it's your time and your money enjoy life in what ever you chose,life is to short for foolishness...have a good day and God bless💓💓💓💕
It's sad that people comment like that, you should enjoy your hobby with out having any stress from others, I am so happy that you enjoy your hobby and share with us, have a blessed day, Joann.
Lynn, you always have such great topics. 🥰 I’m so sorry you got those negative comments. We all have to be careful what we say to each other-this person should not assume anything about you and the time you spend with your kids. This hobby can be very relaxing, a stress reducer, and bring much happiness, and, yes, it can be expensive, but we don’t need to judge one another. I hope we can all support and encourage one another and create a positive community. You are doing a great job, Lynn!! 🤗❤️
Ohhh Kylie is such a wee princess and thank you for sharing her 💖💖💖, I totally understand everything that you were saying about feeling guilty, but it is your own time to do what you want to, it's your money, you don't use your living expenses for your babies, so please don't feel guilty at all. I got my first 3 reborns 3 yrs ago as models for my knitting, and it's only now that I have finally got more interested in this world, I have 2 berenger babies getting reborn and they will be home in the next few weeks, and it's only with starting to watch videos and chats on TH-cam that I have started getting to know what I like and have already chosen my next custom baby, Kenzie the crawling baby and Joseph awake sculpt 3 months size, I know I can never afford a silicone of my own but I love watching all the mummies with theirs. Thank you for a wonderful video, hugs from Scotland xx xx
I appreciate your time to make this video. You don't owe anyone an explanation of how you spend your money and invest in this amazing hobby. As a mom of 3 myself I quickly learned not to care about anyone or their thoughts that I'm not positive and encouraging as our doll community continues to grow to include all doll lovers and collectors! I enjoy your videos continue to share and love them those pretty babies that you have. 🤗😘
Im there with you! I have taken a money and utube pause due to the negative feelings on the channels! But I can afford what I do and It makes me happy! Love the outfit!!
Hi Lynn! You are a lovely person don't feel guilty about anything, I love your topics. I been learning from you when it comes to reborn babies or silicone babies.You are amazing person, I wish I had a friend like you in my life. I love to watch your babies when you change their outfits, they are beautiful outfits. You have gorgeous babies which I have felt in love with most of them💕👶🏻🧸please don't pay no attention to those people who are jealous of what you have. Please continue doing your videos many new collectors like me are still learning from you when it comes to reborn babies & silicone babies Blessings to you and your precious family🙋♀️.
I haven’t had time to watch any videos and how sweet of you to give me a shoutout!! I love your little baby girl...what a sweetheart. Hugs my sweat friend 😘😘
Hi my name is Tara and I am just recently getting into this reborn dolls world. I don’t have any thing more than your traditional standard collection but I have Heart! I am in no way or in any shape yet to be along the level you are at but I just want to tell you that I think your great! You seem to be real. I know a thing or two about life and it’s never easy to take a crude comment without taking it personal. It hits you smack in the face. Your channel is one I tend To put a great deal of attention to. Your dolls are awesome! You have a good eye for what’s in. Thank you for doing what you do. Your doll choices I feel personally are just exquisite. The information you give out daily I’m sure helps a lot of people. I know it answers many of my questions. Have a blessed day
Don’t let that person make you feel more guilt than you may already feel. They probably are just jealous. Most of us know you are a hard working mom and what you do in your spare time is nobody’s business. I love your channel. I love seeing your dolls and Audrey when she comes on. Have a good week! -Angie
aw lynn you are so lovely sob. i really should comment more- i’m always lurking here watching your videos lol. i’m sorry someone commented such hurtful things. they sound so ignorant, man. i hope it’s not a weird thing to say but audrey comes across as just the sweetest little girl in the videos you do together. she’s so charismatic and clever. you’re obviously an amazing mother so i really hope these nasty comments just bounce!
You are always amazing as a person and don't need to be worried about whatever anyone says. The hobby is a therapy and a creative release that helps you be better mom etc.:)
As moms we take so much time with our children, we should be able to spend some time and money on ourselves with out feeling guilty. Most women have to work now a days, if we enjoy something we should be able to do it without negative comments. Audrey is so adorable and certainly looks like she is well loved and taken care of. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I am sorry that you have to deal with such negative comments.
Lynn u r an amazing mother. This is your hobby that u enjoy to decompress and people need to just mind their own business.. Your children are always put first thats so easy to c, someone must have nothing better to do then say uncalled for accusations. Best to ignore them.. Love u all xoxo.
Try to ignore the negative comments. I truly enjoy your channel. Please continue to provide us with your videos. I appreciate knowing your thoughts on various situations. Keep them coming.
Lynn, first I am sorry that you received the comments you did, It is plain to see that you work hard and you love your family. I enjoy your chat and changing video's so much, (all your video's really) it is like listening to a friend. I myself have ashton drake and paradise galleries dolls, I have yet to get my first reborn, and if I could have the experience of one artist silicone doll, I would be so happy, for now I am enjoying Ashton Drake's partial silicones Lily Rose and Little And Lovely Gabrielle...who I absolutely loveeeeeeeee ... but I enjoy all dolls in general. I actually when I was younger collected the Collectable Barbies, but I watched a couple reborn video's and am now hooked! lol.... I have always loved to paint so I am in the process of learning to reborn dolls (through Jen @ creative newborns)... I have a ton of kits waiting! lol... Just a thought for your giveaway, since you have your paradise galleries dolls that are packed away, perhaps you can use them for your giveaways. I know you take such good care of your dolls and I am sure anyone would love just knowing that the dolls came from you! (you are so sweet!) of course you could always sell them as well, I just thought I would share my thoughts when you mentioned it. As always thanks for sharing Lynn🤗 Have a great day! P.S ...I just ordered the Ellory Kit because of you lol.... and I am a huge fan of Andrea Arcello's sculpting as well, I have Connolly and Greta and i pre-ordered Eloisa 😍 ....once I reborn Ellory, her her name will be baby Lynn!
Thanks so much for your nice note! Yes, I definitely think giving away a few of our PG dolls would be great for giveaway. Lots of hugs and that's so awesome you're getting Ellory! I also love the Ashton Drake partial silicones too... xoxo
Hi Lynn, I cannot understand how the people make such kind of rude comments, they are not appropiate at all. In this videos we are talking about our hobby and there is anything to do with our private lifes. We enjoy so much your videos and your point of view about this entertaiment. Do not pay attention to this type of people Lynn it is not worth wasting your time on them!! Lots of hugs my friend.
Wow!! I'm just sick over these tearable comments!! These people!! Have they never heard. "If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all!!" Do not go ever!! We love you Lynn!! I have learned so much from you!! Love your babies!! Your a sweetheart!! I love watching your video's! No need to explain yourself to any one either! *Huggggs* xoxo
I feel guilty over owning my dolls but I get guilty over little things as well such as eating out with a friend while my husband is stuck at work. I think it is something most women deal with. I really don’t understand or think that anyone has the right to be rude and try to inflict you with a sense of guilt or remorse. You are a great mother and a friend to others. The type of person you are shows in the way you talk about work and family. You seem to be really loyal and hardworking. You deserve to enjoy your hobby or anything else that makes you happy. Having an outlet is also wise and healthy. Ignore the negative comments. Usually the type of person that makes those are someone who has a jealous heart or has been hurt in someway and is striking out in anger to make whomever they can feel as bad as they themselves feel.
Your so nice you don’t have to justify what you spend your money on it’s no ones business but yours tell who ever to stuff it if you want to buy your dolls do so you work hard for what you have don’t fell guilty 🌺
Yes definitely, I completely understand about the bug! I’m still new and I get to feeling guilty for always having them on my mind! And the constant looking for things for them or looking for a new baby. So you’re not alone my friend! Maybe we could have a reborn Library where we could check them out, lol! The comment you got is what has me scared to really make a utube channel, I have one but I don’t do much with it.
Thanks my dear. Don't let my experience deter you from being on YT -- there are so many wonderful things about being on here, but the side effect is definitely having to deal with some negativity. I'd love the reborn library idea too! xoxo
I think we all feel guilty about the cost now and then... I'm sure you do what is best for yourself. You have a beautiful collections. Haters hate. Dont listen to them.
Everything you said is 100% spot on for me! I don’t know even where to start. First of all, it’s really sad that you feel the need to justify yourself in regards to that person‘s incredibly rude comment. I don’t understand why people are OK with being cruel? You have done nothing wrong and you should not feel guilty at all! Although I could say the same thing to myself. LOL! As moms we are born into this continual guilty state. So I’m thinking that this person must not be a mother because if she were, she would understand how much us moms sacrifice for our children. Secondly, I am in the same spot as far as my collection goes. I want to downsize because I want to get ready for summertime adventures with my children and I can’t help but think about what more I can do for my kids if the money wasn’t spent on dolls! The thing is, my kids are spoiled rotten and don’t “need” anything! It’s just a condition I suffer where I feel the need to constantly be giving more to them. I have to remind myself all the time that it’s ok to spoil myself sometimes and for my kids to go without “that toy!” I 100% buy PG dolls because I’m craving a new baby but then get bored of them quickly. We should totally start a trade system where we can exchange dolls for a period of time and then return them! That might cure the impulsive doll buying problem! Problem for me, is that even though I’m very much a part of this community, people have no clue who I am because I don’t have my own channel. It’s been hard to be known and make friends in the community because of this. Anyways, keep doing you and keep laughing off those big meanies even though deep down inside I know it still hurts no matter how ridiculous their words may be!
Thank goodness for spam folders! I’ve recently been doxed by Andrea. Things are getting out of hand on here. I’m considering leaving my TH-cam channel as soon as my dispute with Andrea over her chargeback is settled. My privacy and that of my kids are more important. And I agree with you, I have a pretty good balance when it comes to my hobby and financial obligations. I’m pretty proud of that too :) This baby is so cute!
I have been so out of the loop lately.. who's Andrea and what happened?? Please don't leave YT! Love you and your channel! Lots of hugs, my friend. xoxo
I've been watching forever but have never commented, but I had to do so now to say I'm so sorry you got such a terrible comment!! As an observer, it's super obvious you're all about your kids. Everyone deserves their own time and hobbies, even dedicated moms. Don't let the commenter get to you. ❤️
Yep...I just got into the hobby somewhere between Halloween and thanksgiving 2019..I have bought 7 babies and currently have 4 and one on the way here 😂 the struggle is real 🤣
Lin, you do not have to justify your love of this hobby. Audrey shares the love of all dolls too, she's blatantly a happy & confident little girl. What you spend is up to you & no1 elses business. There's a lot more expensive hobbies out there!!!! 🤗😘 Chrissy🇬🇧
You don’t need to justify your self, your children are cared for and loved so what you do with your own time is your business. I’m only a little bit jealous of that baby, have a great day, be blessed.
I’ve learned that some people have an unrelenting need to voice their opinion despite not being asked for one. I have a daughter who has special needs and she gets all the attention she could possibly want, which is why I get very little time with my dolls. Like you, I normally change and spend time with one of them when she’s in bed! We are Mums but we are also still people with hobbies outside being a parent and there’s nothing wrong with that! The comments from this person speaks of her character and not of yours xx
Thank you my dear. Taking care of kids, and especially special needs kids, is especially exhausting and no one has visibility into how all of us spend our time. Appreciate the kind comment. xoxo
Great topic. First, you do not need to explain to anyone how you spend your money, how much money you have, what you do with your spare time etc. (that rude comment is just ridiculous). Everyone’s situation is different. Do what makes you happy and what brings you joy. 💗 I find myself feeling guilty with what I spend in the hobby. I try to sell to buy, but yea...sometimes....😬😂🤦♀️ (LOL) It’s all a balancing act I think. (Something I’m always working on! Lol) 💗
Don't worry about what anybody else says about what you spend your money on you spend your money on something that makes you happy you take care of your child you have your own house and you make sure that everything is good with your children don't worry about the people that have something to say because nine times out of 10 they are having the problems but they just act like they don't understand how a mother can love playing with dolls I've been a doll playing on my whole life but I also have four kids who are grown right now I have two grandkids would I pick up a doll versus my grandchild course not so you keep spending your money the way you want to keep spending your money don't worry about any what anybody else has to say about it
Wow! So sorry about the comment you got..it was out of plain Jealousy..and you have no reason to feel guilty at all. .Your "me time" is your time and you spend as you see fit!! As for me, I tend to Only feel guilt when it comes to the money too.
Hi Lynn. Baby Kylie looks cute as a button. She looks so comfortable catching a little nap. It's unfortunate that there are some people that feel they have a right to be a bully and disrespecttful to others. There's no reason for anyone to make comments on the amount of money a collector spends on their hobby. (Ie money spent on dolls, clothing, accessories, attending Doll Shows/Events etc.) If people don't like this, they may be should stop watching these videos. As far as any negative comments about your children are totally out of line. Whenever I have seen Audrey in a video she appears to be happy and engaged with you in the video. As far as her room being messy, I can remember on a few occasions Audrey has gone to her room to retrieve an item for the video.(Ie scissors, doll etc.) I think it's great that you have a hobby to enjoy along with raising your children and working.
Thank you Leslie! I agree with you. Sadly, this person is a member of the doll community so I don't think she was passing judgment on the hobby in general but on me specifically. xoxo
I believe the person that made that comment is a random person that don’t know nothing about reborn’s don’t put attention to it Don’t let that make you feel bad
I am sad by how apologetic you are. This person does not deserve an explanation. Please dont apologize. Unfortunately women are continously being made to feel guilty about everything. Budgeting for your hobby is fine if it brings you joy. Keep doing what you do💕
Bottom line is, you DESERVE to be happy, it's your RIGHT as a human being, would you want your kids to feel guilty for doing something that makes them happy? No, so why would you feel guilty for a basic Human Right?
I feel that if you know deep down in your heart that you do what you need to to support your family and take care of your children you shouldn't have to come on here to defend yourself! I feel like some people will say anything just to get arise out of whomever 🙄 I just stay in my corner and try to mind my business 😂
I think that's a good way to handle things! I normally try to ignore these types of things, but it really bothered me so it felt good to talk it out a bit. xoxo
I don't feel guilt, but I do feel like people judge me for spending so much money, but in the end, it is my money, I earn it myself but I always feel like people give the impression that I'm some kind of rich spoilt girl that has an endless money pit, but it's not true and I earn the money myself. I have a cousin that goes to football matches almost every week and he spends the same amount of money on that as I spend on dolls, but thats what he is passionate about and it's a hobby so I wouldn't tell him he's wasting his money. And the comment about not caring for your own kids is ridiculous! I don't know why people even say that, I've seen a few people say it. Even if you say you know they aren't real, some daft people still think people with reborns spend all day roleplaying. Another comment that annoys me is "why don't you just have real kids or adopt?"
Once more, a jealous and mean person attacks someone who seems to be happy and balanced, just to make her feel has bad as herself. All the people, who follow your videos, know that your family means everything to you. You spend some time on your hobby and you're right ! Your family needs you to feel fine and balanced. Maybe wouldn't they be so happy, if you didn't have this hobby. About the money, it's nobody's business but yours ! I think that feeling guilt is "reserved" to reborn community. I mean, people who read a lot, who paint, who knit, who sew, who practice sports several hours a day, who collect any objects (little cars, baseball cards, lighters...), nobody will criticize them. Their family and friends are even happy for them and offer them things in report with their hobby. Why should reborn collectors and/or artists feel guilt on their hobby ? Collection dolls existed before and nobody found it scandalous ! I think there is still a lot of misunderstanding and a lot of jealousy too, around reborns. Lynn, don't feel guilty ! You have the chance to have a wonderful hobby, that makes you more relaxed and balanced, enjoy it ! You even should enjoy it more for the people who'd like to be able to afford this hobby and are happy to watch your videos. What you share here is priceless. 😉 Love and hugs 😘 😘 😘 ❤️❤️❤️
You have nothing to feel guilty about, you don't need to justify yourself. Your money and time is your business and noone elses and of course your children and responsibilities come first. Your an intelligent and caring woman who works and runs a household, and it's a hobby which gives you pleasure. You can nurture your hobby while being at home while your children sleep after having had the best of you in the day time. Different things add pleasure and joy to people and you have as much right to do your hobby in the evening as others might have a glass of wine or read or draw, and your there if you're children wake, which is very different to a man out playing golf. If your happy and fulfilled it will set a good example to your kids and they will benefit from a calmer mum. So any hobby is expensive like sports and all the kit needed. You have no need to feel guilty, and you know if you were to sell one it's an asset because it doesn't depreciate like a car, which can act as a safety net,don't apologise for having something your passionate about its what makes you you. And anyone would know if it came to it your child would-be the only priority and you would do anything for her, it's a ridiculous comment,don't give it a second thought x
You are really cool and i love what you do and the things that you do with your reborn baby dolls and just inorgor what i viewer has to say about what you do
I like to fix dollhouses and make stuff for them, I have wanted a reborn for a long time, I still haven't been able to hold one lol not sure about giving it up after, I have 8 kids (all above 16) and I've had 6 miscarriages, I also want just Something for Me, I feel guilty for wanting anything that would be Mine, I taught my kids to share so what gives me the right to want for myself, that's just it, I think our generation was raised on guilt and as adults we're either going to feel guilty or make someone else feel guilty, I prefer to feel it, I wouldn't want to do anything to cause that in someone else, maybe the person who said it has never actually held one, my sister did lol she has mixed feelings but understands why I want one so bad
Hello, sorry for the rude comments I am a mom to 7 kids ages 18,15,12,6,2,1,and 10 months I am a stay at home mom also I do nothing for myself everything is for kids and husband don’t mind if I put dolls on layaway cause it is something for myself but money goes to important things first and hobby is a hobby I don’t smoke drink or drugs so what is a little hobby I only have 2 soon to be 3 and I have a budget to what I spend on a doll I think that person might be jealous of you and your life. ❤️
I'm sorry about the negative comment you received. I don't understand why someone feels the need to insert themselves in your private life and tell you how to parent and spend your money. Very upsetting. We are not just mother's. We should do things for ourselves that make us happy. It brings a balance to our lives. 😳
It is sad that certain people have enough time on their hands to watch it and negatively comment on your channel. I’m definitely tired of all of the major drama that has been going on in our community and am happy that it’s slowing down. I have a feeling whoever sent you those nasty comments is just trying to stir things up with someone else. It appears that there are a few sociopaths among us who get great satisfaction and enjoyment from starting trouble and then sitting back and watching the drama unfold. I don’t consider videos like this drama and I think it is important to draw awareness to this kind of commenter. There will be a whole lot less if we unsubscribe and block trouble makers. The drama that I can’t stand would occur if you were to say banter back and forth in TH-cam videos so much that it draws other channels into the mess also. Before you know it, they are making videos without sufficient knowledge of the initial issue, which upsets a whole new lot of channel makers. Before you know it I large portion of the community is been upset from 2 people making a mountain out of s mole hill. The other videos I do not consider drama are videos in which a buyer or a seller is being dishonest, miss leading, or fraudulent etc. Those are things that affect all of us and we need to know about them so they don’t happen to us in the future.
You make a great point that drama can feed into more drama... with so many channels it can be hard to follow everything and to have the entire picture of what's happening. xoxo
OMG, you do not need to explain your hobby, it is nobody's business. There are so many things that give us our "Joy" besides the obvious being family. I am a self diagnosed pugaholic and I enjoy collecting dolls and other things. I think your collection is awesome, although I could not afford it, I am happy for you. Some people are so jealous. Reborn collecting is no different than having other interests. I hope people that question you, can find joy in their own lives .
I cannot believe those comments! If you have nothing positive or productive to say, do not say anything(or comment) . Very uneducated people fore sure.
Aw she’s so sweet! Omg I’ve just been thinking about this... feeling so guilty about how much I’ve spent on this hobby although I only spend doll money (from selling dolls) and not household money I still feel guilty lol. I think it’s in our nature especially as women, to feel guilty about any luxury we indulge in. I think it’s needed to have some “me time” to recharge our batteries. As women, wives and moms we give give all day long. If our me time is with dolls, there’s nothing wrong with that at all. And sometimes my doll time ends up being time I spend with my younger daughters and son as they love the dolls too!
I totally agree! Audrey and I totally enjoy the dolls together, and yes, mom guilt is a total real thing. Lots of hugs, Wendy! xoxo
Hi,Don't feel guilty it's your time and your money enjoy life in what ever you chose,life is to short for foolishness...have a good day and God bless💓💓💓💕
She is so beautiful....and she is the most beautiful silicone baby i have ever seen .
She really is cute. Thanks! :)
@@LittleFootNursery ...yes how cute
Also, your private time with your children/family is not onscreen, and its nobody's business away!!! Rock on!!!
Wha! That's sorry that anyone would share a rude comment , I've seen nothing but a gentle person sharing the joy of this hobby!!
It's sad that people comment like that, you should enjoy your hobby with out having any stress from others, I am so happy that you enjoy your hobby and share with us, have a blessed day, Joann.

You are always amazing as a person and don't need to be worried about whatever anyone says. The hobby is a therapy and a creative release that helps you be better mom etc.:)
Thank you Cathi! :) xoxo
As moms we take so much time with our children, we should be able to spend some time and money on ourselves with out feeling guilty. Most women have to work now a days, if we enjoy something we should be able to do it without negative comments. Audrey is so adorable and certainly looks like she is well loved and taken care of. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I am sorry that you have to deal with such negative comments.
Thanks so much Donna! I really appreciate it! xoxo
I love Kylie! I am so sorry you got negative comments. I love watching your videos.

Lynn u r an amazing mother. This is your hobby that u enjoy to decompress and people need to just mind their own business.. Your children are always put first thats so easy to c, someone must have nothing better to do then say uncalled for accusations. Best to ignore them.. Love u all xoxo.

Try to ignore the negative comments. I truly enjoy your channel. Please continue to provide us with your videos. I appreciate knowing your thoughts on various situations. Keep them coming.
Thank you so much Jennifer! :) xoxo
Lynn, first I am sorry that you received the comments you did, It is plain to see that you work hard and you love your family. I enjoy your chat and changing video's so much, (all your video's really) it is like listening to a friend. I myself have ashton drake and paradise galleries dolls, I have yet to get my first reborn, and if I could have the experience of one artist silicone doll, I would be so happy, for now I am enjoying Ashton Drake's partial silicones Lily Rose and Little And Lovely Gabrielle...who I absolutely loveeeeeeeee ... but I enjoy all dolls in general. I actually when I was younger collected the Collectable Barbies, but I watched a couple reborn video's and am now hooked! lol.... I have always loved to paint so I am in the process of learning to reborn dolls (through Jen @ creative newborns)... I have a ton of kits waiting! lol... Just a thought for your giveaway, since you have your paradise galleries dolls that are packed away, perhaps you can use them for your giveaways. I know you take such good care of your dolls and I am sure anyone would love just knowing that the dolls came from you! (you are so sweet!) of course you could always sell them as well, I just thought I would share my thoughts when you mentioned it. As always thanks for sharing Lynn🤗 Have a great day! P.S ...I just ordered the Ellory Kit because of you lol.... and I am a huge fan of Andrea Arcello's sculpting as well, I have Connolly and Greta and i pre-ordered Eloisa 😍 ....once I reborn Ellory, her her name will be baby Lynn!
Thanks so much for your nice note! Yes, I definitely think giving away a few of our PG dolls would be great for giveaway. Lots of hugs and that's so awesome you're getting Ellory! I also love the Ashton Drake partial silicones too... xoxo
Hi Lynn, I cannot understand how the people make such kind of rude comments, they are not appropiate at all. In this videos we are talking about our hobby and there is anything to do with our private lifes. We enjoy so much your videos and your point of view about this entertaiment. Do not pay attention to this type of people Lynn it is not worth wasting your time on them!! Lots of hugs my friend.
Thank you Montse. xoxo
Wow!! I'm just sick over these tearable comments!! These people!! Have they never heard. "If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all!!" Do not go ever!! We love you Lynn!! I have learned so much from you!! Love your babies!! Your a sweetheart!! I love watching your video's! No need to explain yourself to any one either! *Huggggs* xoxo
Thank you so much Stacy! xoxo
I am Sorry to hear that someone left you such a Rude Comment. Congratulations on 20K Subs! Thanks for Sharing. Hugs & Love :-)
Thank you so much Erica! Lots of hugs!! xoxo
I feel guilty over owning my dolls but I get guilty over little things as well such as eating out with a friend while my husband is stuck at work. I think it is something most women deal with. I really don’t understand or think that anyone has the right to be rude and try to inflict you with a sense of guilt or remorse. You are a great mother and a friend to others. The type of person you are shows in the way you talk about work and family. You seem to be really loyal and hardworking. You deserve to enjoy your hobby or anything else that makes you happy. Having an outlet is also wise and healthy. Ignore the negative comments. Usually the type of person that makes those are someone who has a jealous heart or has been hurt in someway and is striking out in anger to make whomever they can feel as bad as they themselves feel.
Thanks so much Peggy. I agree with you! xoxo
Your so nice you don’t have to justify what you spend your money on it’s no ones business but yours tell who ever to stuff it if you want to buy your dolls do so you work hard for what you have don’t fell guilty 🌺
Yes definitely, I completely understand about the bug! I’m still new and I get to feeling guilty for always having them on my mind! And the constant looking for things for them or looking for a new baby. So you’re not alone my friend! Maybe we could have a reborn Library where we could check them out, lol! The comment you got is what has me scared to really make a utube channel, I have one but I don’t do much with it.
Thanks my dear. Don't let my experience deter you from being on YT -- there are so many wonderful things about being on here, but the side effect is definitely having to deal with some negativity. I'd love the reborn library idea too! xoxo
I think we all feel guilty about the cost now and then... I'm sure you do what is best for yourself. You have a beautiful collections. Haters hate. Dont listen to them.
Everything you said is 100% spot on for me! I don’t know even where to start. First of all, it’s really sad that you feel the need to justify yourself in regards to that person‘s incredibly rude comment. I don’t understand why people are OK with being cruel? You have done nothing wrong and you should not feel guilty at all! Although I could say the same thing to myself. LOL! As moms we are born into this continual guilty state. So I’m thinking that this person must not be a mother because if she were, she would understand how much us moms sacrifice for our children. Secondly, I am in the same spot as far as my collection goes. I want to downsize because I want to get ready for summertime adventures with my children and I can’t help but think about what more I can do for my kids if the money wasn’t spent on dolls! The thing is, my kids are spoiled rotten and don’t “need” anything! It’s just a condition I suffer where I feel the need to constantly be giving more to them. I have to remind myself all the time that it’s ok to spoil myself sometimes and for my kids to go without “that toy!” I 100% buy PG dolls because I’m craving a new baby but then get bored of them quickly. We should totally start a trade system where we can exchange dolls for a period of time and then return them! That might cure the impulsive doll buying problem! Problem for me, is that even though I’m very much a part of this community, people have no clue who I am because I don’t have my own channel. It’s been hard to be known and make friends in the community because of this. Anyways, keep doing you and keep laughing off those big meanies even though deep down inside I know it still hurts no matter how ridiculous their words may be!
Aw thank you so much for the kind comment! I so appreciate it! :) xoxo
You just do what makes you happy, that person is to fast and out of place tour baby looks adorable
Thank goodness for spam folders! I’ve recently been doxed by Andrea. Things are getting out of hand on here. I’m considering leaving my TH-cam channel as soon as my dispute with Andrea over her chargeback is settled. My privacy and that of my kids are more important.
And I agree with you, I have a pretty good balance when it comes to my hobby and financial obligations. I’m pretty proud of that too :)
This baby is so cute!
I have been so out of the loop lately.. who's Andrea and what happened?? Please don't leave YT! Love you and your channel! Lots of hugs, my friend. xoxo
I've been watching forever but have never commented, but I had to do so now to say I'm so sorry you got such a terrible comment!! As an observer, it's super obvious you're all about your kids. Everyone deserves their own time and hobbies, even dedicated moms. Don't let the commenter get to you. ❤️
Thank you so much for the kind comment. xoxo
Yep...I just got into the hobby somewhere between Halloween and thanksgiving 2019..I have bought 7 babies and currently have 4 and one on the way here 😂 the struggle is real 🤣
She is so precious!
Lin, you do not have to justify your love of this hobby. Audrey shares the love of all dolls too, she's blatantly a happy & confident little girl. What you spend is up to you & no1 elses business. There's a lot more expensive hobbies out there!!!! 🤗😘 Chrissy🇬🇧
You don’t need to justify your self, your children are cared for and loved so what you do with your own time is your business. I’m only a little bit jealous of that baby, have a great day, be blessed.
Very honest sweetheart.....you’re right with borrowing babies it’s a great idea ! 👍🏻
Hi Lynn, Kylie is so beautiful! 😍 Sorry you had to have a negative comment. I love your channel and topics!😇😊
Thank you so much! xoxo
I’ve learned that some people have an unrelenting need to voice their opinion despite not being asked for one. I have a daughter who has special needs and she gets all the attention she could possibly want, which is why I get very little time with my dolls. Like you, I normally change and spend time with one of them when she’s in bed! We are Mums but we are also still people with hobbies outside being a parent and there’s nothing wrong with that! The comments from this person speaks of her character and not of yours xx
Thank you my dear. Taking care of kids, and especially special needs kids, is especially exhausting and no one has visibility into how all of us spend our time. Appreciate the kind comment. xoxo
Great topic. First, you do not need to explain to anyone how you spend your money, how much money you have, what you do with your spare time etc. (that rude comment is just ridiculous). Everyone’s situation is different. Do what makes you happy and what brings you joy. 💗
I find myself feeling guilty with what I spend in the hobby. I try to sell to buy, but yea...sometimes....😬😂🤦♀️ (LOL)
It’s all a balancing act I think. (Something I’m always working on! Lol) 💗
Thank you so much for the kind words :) xoxo
Don't worry about what anybody else says about what you spend your money on you spend your money on something that makes you happy you take care of your child you have your own house and you make sure that everything is good with your children don't worry about the people that have something to say because nine times out of 10 they are having the problems but they just act like they don't understand how a mother can love playing with dolls I've been a doll playing on my whole life but I also have four kids who are grown right now I have two grandkids would I pick up a doll versus my grandchild course not so you keep spending your money the way you want to keep spending your money don't worry about any what anybody else has to say about it
Wow! So sorry about the comment you got..it was out of plain Jealousy..and you have no reason to feel guilty at all. .Your "me time" is your time and you spend as you see fit!! As for me, I tend to Only feel guilt when it comes to the money too.
She is so beautiful
Hi Lynn. Baby Kylie looks cute as a button. She looks so comfortable catching a little nap. It's unfortunate that there are some people that feel they have a right to be a bully and disrespecttful to others. There's no reason for anyone to make comments on the amount of money a collector spends on their hobby. (Ie money spent on dolls, clothing, accessories, attending Doll Shows/Events etc.) If people don't like this, they may be should stop watching these videos. As far as any negative comments about your children are totally out of line. Whenever I have seen Audrey in a video she appears to be happy and engaged with you in the video. As far as her room being messy, I can remember on a few occasions Audrey has gone to her room to retrieve an item for the video.(Ie scissors, doll etc.)
I think it's great that you have a hobby to enjoy along with raising your children and working.
Thank you Leslie! I agree with you. Sadly, this person is a member of the doll community so I don't think she was passing judgment on the hobby in general but on me specifically. xoxo
I believe the person that made that comment is a random person that don’t know nothing about reborn’s don’t put attention to it Don’t let that make you feel bad
I am sad by how apologetic you are. This person does not deserve an explanation. Please dont apologize. Unfortunately women are continously being made to feel guilty about everything. Budgeting for your hobby is fine if it brings you joy. Keep doing what you do💕
Thank you Jackie! xoxo
It is relaxing to play with them it destress you
Bottom line is, you DESERVE to be happy, it's your RIGHT as a human being, would you want your kids to feel guilty for doing something that makes them happy? No, so why would you feel guilty for a basic Human Right?
I feel that if you know deep down in your heart that you do what you need to to support your family and take care of your children you shouldn't have to come on here to defend yourself! I feel like some people will say anything just to get arise out of whomever 🙄 I just stay in my corner and try to mind my business 😂
I think that's a good way to handle things! I normally try to ignore these types of things, but it really bothered me so it felt good to talk it out a bit. xoxo
I don't feel guilt, but I do feel like people judge me for spending so much money, but in the end, it is my money, I earn it myself but I always feel like people give the impression that I'm some kind of rich spoilt girl that has an endless money pit, but it's not true and I earn the money myself.
I have a cousin that goes to football matches almost every week and he spends the same amount of money on that as I spend on dolls, but thats what he is passionate about and it's a hobby so I wouldn't tell him he's wasting his money.
And the comment about not caring for your own kids is ridiculous! I don't know why people even say that, I've seen a few people say it.
Even if you say you know they aren't real, some daft people still think people with reborns spend all day roleplaying.
Another comment that annoys me is "why don't you just have real kids or adopt?"
Totally! I have all those same pet peeves too! :P xoxo
Tell who ever to take a run and jump I hate people like that how dare they you daughter is beautiful 🦋
💟💟💟💞💞💞💞💞💝💝💝
Once more, a jealous and mean person attacks someone who seems to be happy and balanced, just to make her feel has bad as herself.
All the people, who follow your videos, know that your family means everything to you. You spend some time on your hobby and you're right ! Your family needs you to feel fine and balanced. Maybe wouldn't they be so happy, if you didn't have this hobby.
About the money, it's nobody's business but yours !
I think that feeling guilt is "reserved" to reborn community. I mean, people who read a lot, who paint, who knit, who sew, who practice sports several hours a day, who collect any objects (little cars, baseball cards, lighters...), nobody will criticize them. Their family and friends are even happy for them and offer them things in report with their hobby. Why should reborn collectors and/or artists feel guilt on their hobby ? Collection dolls existed before and nobody found it scandalous !
I think there is still a lot of misunderstanding and a lot of jealousy too, around reborns.
Lynn, don't feel guilty ! You have the chance to have a wonderful hobby, that makes you more relaxed and balanced, enjoy it !
You even should enjoy it more for the people who'd like to be able to afford this hobby and are happy to watch your videos. What you share here is priceless. 😉
Love and hugs 😘 😘 😘 ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words. I so appreciate it! :) xoxo
You have nothing to feel guilty about, you don't need to justify yourself. Your money and time is your business and noone elses and of course your children and responsibilities come first. Your an intelligent and caring woman who works and runs a household, and it's a hobby which gives you pleasure. You can nurture your hobby while being at home while your children sleep after having had the best of you in the day time. Different things add pleasure and joy to people and you have as much right to do your hobby in the evening as others might have a glass of wine or read or draw, and your there if you're children wake, which is very different to a man out playing golf. If your happy and fulfilled it will set a good example to your kids and they will benefit from a calmer mum. So any hobby is expensive like sports and all the kit needed. You have no need to feel guilty, and you know if you were to sell one it's an asset because it doesn't depreciate like a car, which can act as a safety net,don't apologise for having something your passionate about its what makes you you. And anyone would know if it came to it your child would-be the only priority and you would do anything for her, it's a ridiculous comment,don't give it a second thought x
You are really cool and i love what you do and the things that you do with your reborn baby dolls and just inorgor what i viewer has to say about what you do
I like to fix dollhouses and make stuff for them, I have wanted a reborn for a long time, I still haven't been able to hold one lol not sure about giving it up after, I have 8 kids (all above 16) and I've had 6 miscarriages, I also want just Something for Me, I feel guilty for wanting anything that would be Mine, I taught my kids to share so what gives me the right to want for myself, that's just it, I think our generation was raised on guilt and as adults we're either going to feel guilty or make someone else feel guilty, I prefer to feel it, I wouldn't want to do anything to cause that in someone else, maybe the person who said it has never actually held one, my sister did lol she has mixed feelings but understands why I want one so bad
My mom said how to purchase because I can get it please
Hello, sorry for the rude comments I am a mom to 7 kids ages 18,15,12,6,2,1,and 10 months I am a stay at home mom also I do nothing for myself everything is for kids and husband don’t mind if I put dolls on layaway cause it is something for myself but money goes to important things first and hobby is a hobby I don’t smoke drink or drugs so what is a little hobby I only have 2 soon to be 3 and I have a budget to what I spend on a doll I think that person might be jealous of you and your life. ❤️
Oh wow I just can't believe someone in the community would say such horrible and rude things 😮
I know :( I don't know what prompts people to be cruel and mean. Sigh... xoxo
I'm sorry about the negative comment you received. I don't understand why someone feels the need to insert themselves in your private life and tell you how to parent and spend your money. Very upsetting. We are not just mother's. We should do things for ourselves that make us happy. It brings a balance to our lives. 😳
Totally agree, Donna! :) xoxo
It is sad that certain people have enough time on their hands to watch it and negatively comment on your channel. I’m definitely tired of all of the major drama that has been going on in our community and am happy that it’s slowing down. I have a feeling whoever sent you those nasty comments is just trying to stir things up with someone else. It appears that there are a few sociopaths among us who get great satisfaction and enjoyment from starting trouble and then sitting back and watching the drama unfold. I don’t consider videos like this drama and I think it is important to draw awareness to this kind of commenter. There will be a whole lot less if we unsubscribe and block trouble makers. The drama that I can’t stand would occur if you were to say banter back and forth in TH-cam videos so much that it draws other channels into the mess also. Before you know it, they are making videos without sufficient knowledge of the initial issue, which upsets a whole new lot of channel makers. Before you know it I large portion of the community is been upset from 2 people making a mountain out of s mole hill. The other videos I do not consider drama are videos in which a buyer or a seller is being dishonest, miss leading, or fraudulent etc. Those are things that affect all of us and we need to know about them so they don’t happen to us in the future.
You make a great point that drama can feed into more drama... with so many channels it can be hard to follow everything and to have the entire picture of what's happening. xoxo
People can be sooooo rude. Love Ya Lynn.
Thank you Linda! :) xoxo
OMG, you do not need to explain your hobby, it is nobody's business. There are so many things that give us our "Joy" besides the obvious being family. I am a self diagnosed pugaholic and I enjoy collecting dolls and other things. I think your collection is awesome, although I could not afford it, I am happy for you. Some people are so jealous. Reborn collecting is no different than having other interests. I hope people that question you, can find joy in their own lives .
Thanks so much Alison! xoxo
I actually wanted to ask for this topic !!! I had to sell almost all , still trying to hold on to two :-P
justa awww,I'm so sorry sweetie xxhugs
I am waiting on my first baby to come
Where can I get a doll like this one.?
This edition is now sold out, but I'd recommend looking at www.doll-fan.com or joining silicone Facebook groups to see if you can find one secondhand.
Does she have a drink and wet system?
No, Natalie does not.
@@LittleFootNursery ...okay thank you
l love it,nice
Hi Lzzy i lost my baby girl how much for you Little Kylie please
Hi Wanda, I'm so sorry for your loss :( Kylie is sold already, but I may post other babies for sale in the future. xoxo
I cannot believe those comments! If you have nothing positive or productive to say, do not say anything(or comment) . Very uneducated people fore sure.
Thanks Erika - I totally agree. xoxo
❤️❤️❤️👶🏻❤️❤️❤️
Oh yes "scandal " was an awesome show ...
